9 days in Colorado Springs Itinerary

Stunning Garden of the Gods Park scenery, blue skies and the glory of Pikes Peak-America’s Mountain have attracted visitors to Colorado Springs for more than a century.

Explore hidden gems such as Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center and U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum. Get some cultural insight at Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum and Penrose Heritage Museum. Venture out of the city with trips to Divide (Mueller State Park & Horsethief Falls), Florissant (Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument & Florissant Fossil Quarry) and Cripple Creek (Phantom Canyon Road, Shelf Rd, &more). And it doesn't end there: take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Cheyenne Mountain State Park, trek along Tunnel Drive, stroll around North Cheyenne Canon Park, and stroll through Palmer Park.
